I am like an open book to the people i love. I expect the same from them.
But.
If any man is in Christ, he(she) is a brand new creation. Old things have passed away, all things have become new.
N said, "So maybe you can talk about your past because you have had a squeaky clean past. But everyone is not like you. I won't hide anything from you. But there are certain details i feel are unnecessary, and will just be baggage to our relationship. No, i have not had a squeaky clean past like you, and i would rather not talk about some things."
I understand where she is coming from. At least i think i do. But my preconceptions. I have always imagined my girl and I doing the "History" talk. How will i know if i truly love her without knowing all of her?
To know is to love, yes; but to know is also to judge - even if unconsciously! So, to know or not to know, that is the question.

Hi Happy!
Both. Some things you'll know - of these, many will take time. Some things you won't. Some things you really don't want to know. Is it me or is this some breakneck speed you guys are moving at. Thank God I booked things early. :) I feel like I'll blink and a wedding will be here. Then again, every relationship is different. Prov 4:23 (that verse is not just for the youth or singles). Love and blessings.
Learn to trust her enough with her story to let her decide whether it should remain her history.
That is your investment in the integrity of the relationship.
God bless, bro.
